The Inevitable Street Fighter V Story Thread: ARCADE EDITION!

Oh nice spoilers, keep em position at @Soul7 . I hope there is one with an African princess :smiley:

(minor spoiler) OHH SHIT, my fav tomboish gal is comming. No way she shows up in that thing and doesn’t become a DLC in near future.

(bigger spoiler) I really hope she shows some changes in her design this time. No way in fucking hell does someone stay THAT long in high school. She’s kinda clumsy and all but not retarded. But whatever, I’ll play her ass anyway, so I don’t know what I’m saying.

I’d be great if she had a big role in the story this time around. Let her fight an evil dude for once. Her tomboyish charm can beat the crap out of every dude in the game, and it’s about time she actually had a few new moves.

[details=Spoiler]Oh man do I want Azam DLC. And Ed/Rock Howard DLC. And ancient prophet DLC. And ring announcer DLC. And…

But seriously, Juri eyepatch?[/details]

Those cameos are pretty dope. Those characters are more likely now that we have voice actors.

[details=Spoiler]Juri eyepatch? Guess I missed that. If it’s in the video, I can’t se it now cause i’m at work, but I can see it happening.

Liking the cameos so far. Only thing I don’t like is sakura still being a tomboy schoolgirl. So many characters showed signs of change during the last two games and Sakura is either frozen in time forever, or she’s dumb enough to never graduate.

Though I still have hopes that she’ll be different when she comes to the game. I’m hoping that the screenshot there is some sort of fash back, though that’s kinda hard with Birdie lying down there.[/details]

Some more interesting details

[details=Spoiler]*Rashid receives a strange sun statue that resembles the the sun marking in the story mode trailer

*Karin’s attacks also use Hado power like Ryu and Ken

*Apparently Oro fought with one of Karin’s ancestors, which sends her on a quest to find him (which leads her to Dhalsim who has already run into him)

*Glade of Ninja’s (now canon name for Ibuki’s clan) are employed by Karin

*Laura senses the SnH in her fight against Ryu. Ryu is fully aware that he’s using it, and Laura mentions she likes it. Both make a lighthearted situation of it.

*Necalli is basically Pillar men meets Majin Buu (guess Seth really was Cell saga). He’s literally an ancient being who awaken’s every thousand years or so to do battle with strong warriors. He posses many powers not witnessed in regular play including the ability to melt into a puddle, and extend and wrap his arm around his opponents to literally absorb them. His whole story mode seems to be alluding to a prophecy, so basically none of the events have really yet to occur. Although by the end of his story it seems like the events are about to unfold.

*FANG was originally apart of a large Asian crime syndicate called the Nguuhao, which has pledged loyalty to Shadaloo. The gang is notable for kidnapping children and training them to use poison. FANG is a title given to their leader (The FANG of Nguuhao), he is the one that becomes Bison’s right hand. His poison is very dangerous, with the potential to melt flesh.

*Bison exterminated all the Nguuhao after they attempted a coup, but he left their leader FANG alive because of the strength he displayed.

Another cameo!

[details=Spoiler]Yoooooo Juri with an eyepatch?! Sounds badass and fits her character very well imo, now the V-Trigger HAS to be her taking it off, something like this:

[/details]

Also regarding how Juri looks… I lurk Neogaf all the time, someone said that

[details=Spoiler]his best way to explain it is that apparently she was rocking her alt 2 and her eyepatch is like a purple heart eyepatch of sorts… didn’t say anything about the hair so I assume it’s the same

I dunno about anyone here but I rock that alt color 8 (silver best color) all the time so I’d be pretty satisfied if this turns out to be her default costume in the game.[/details]

[spoiler=]Sakura still in the school uniform. Seriously, what the fuck Capcom! Make her grow up like y’all did with Karin.[/spoiler]

OMG

[details=Spoiler]

She looks amazing![/details]

is she not a bad dude?
or like an anti-hero? i have no idea the story from 4.

Spoiler

What happened to her FSE?!?
Why is she stealing Sagat’s swag?
Is that Juni? She seems fully recovered![/details]

Also

[details=Spoiler]Part of Nash’s Alpha ending is true. He didn’t just get blasted by a helicopter

I give up. I caved in and watched Chun-Li’s story mode.

MAJOR SPOILERS IN MY REVIEW

[details=Spoiler]
Let me say first and foremost, I was really critical about Laura Bailey’s voice acting in this iteration of SFV. This time in story mode, I take it all back. I think she really did exceptionally well in regards to Chun-Li’s development. Going from headstrong, reckless, and aggressive in the flashbacks to a nurturing, caring, almost motherly feel with Li-Fen (which is the little girl’s name apparently)

I knew that the story was gonna feature a flashback to her pre-SFII days where she was a cop, searching for answers of her father’s death. I was surprised that Chun-li never got a definitive answer, but all that was revealed to her was that he’s dead, much to the shock of Chun-Li. I thought they would’ve given more answers but with what they’ve given us, it perfectly explains her character. Her story mode was great for her character development. Realizing that she doesn’t have to do things herself, now that she has the help of Nash and Guile in her corner.

I liked how it all tied into Chun-Li and Li-Fen. How Chun-Li explained how she went from a young girl to the stron woman that she is right now. And having Li-Fen being inspired to be just as strong as her was really a significant moment in Chun-Li’s life. We all know that she later decides to take care of children, but this is a great first step in realizing her calling. (Called it!)

I was disappointed in how short story mode is. All that we got from her was 3 fights. I think Capcom missed a great opportunity in diving deep into their characters. They coulve done so much more, given her more of a struggle, given us more answers, so so much more than just a 3 fight sample. I’m hoping that there is more to it. Maybe some downloadable content in the future for all characters that serves as a continuation to the story. But for now, it’s great to see our Chun-Li doing what she does. [/details]

Holy moley! Those are some awesome pieces of story! <3

Spoiler

At least it seems they fixed her tits.

Another reason to love this game.

God dammit, this is worse than running blind in a landmine zone >_<

(You guys are doing great marking spoilers, though, not meaning to sound like you’re not being careful, btw)

So basically,

Spoiler

Oro confirmed for Season 2?

The stories may be short, but maybe Capcom are teasing us a little bit and wait for the Story mode, so much hype today.

Juri on Kenpachi’s level!! Increased bust size, too. S.I.N. technology, baby!

Yo Bengus, what is that? I don’t even…
